IDfusion, LLC, is a technology company specializing in researching and developing advanced IT security solutions. We are licensed Intel Corporation SGX developers. We are focused on developing security solutions for Intelligent Network Endpoint Devices (INEDs) which are rapidly becoming the most common type of device on the edge of the network.

We believe it has never been more important that the millions of intelligent devices that are changing every aspect of our society do our bidding rather then that of adversaries. The imperative we face, as we become more dependent on these devices, is that there be an absolute guarantee of trust in the functionality of these devices.

IDfusion blends two major technology innovations to provide developers and consumers of such devices this trust. IDfusion’s Autonomous Introspection technology (the ‘other’ AI) provides a powerful modeling framework that allows the ultimate ‘whitelist’ to be defined for a platform. Undesired platform behaviors can be intercepted and blocked before they can be used by an aggressor to modify a platform to do their will rather then the intention of the platform designer.

By combining Autonomous Introspection technology with Intel’s Software Guard Extensions (SGX) technology, IDfusion inverts the SGX security model to leverage enclave technology to guarantee that the entire operating system and application stack is doing the bidding of its designer and owner. IDfusion’s Secure Runtime Development Environment, coming in late March, empowers developers to use modern DevOps technologies to build platforms with these important security guarantees.

Much has been written about the recently disclosed micro-architectural cache probing attacks named in the title of this document. These attacks, while known as a possibility for some time, have created significant concerns and remediation activity in the industry, secondary to the significant confidentiality threats they pose. These attacks are particularly problematic since they evade…
